Definitions

  • This invention relates to emulsions and a process of producing them and refers more particularly to a method of manufacturing concentrated aqueous emulsions.
  • An object of the present invention is to improve prior art processes and products.
  • the present invention is based, in part, on the discovery that water-soluble or in water-dispersible, neutralized or acidified reaction products of aliphatic or aromatic compounds containing epoxy groups with dior polyamines of aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or heterocyclic series constitute excellent emulsification and dispersing means for waterin-soluble substances of very different types.
  • the water-insoluble substances which are to be emulsi fied or dispersed can be of organic or inorganic nature.
  • they can be saponifiable fats, oils and waxes, their free acids, paraffin hydrocarbons, chloroparafiins, chlorocaoutchouc, pentachlorophenolesters of higher carbonic acids, polyethylenes, water-insoluble cellulose ethers or esters, polyvinylalcohols, their esters, polyvinylchloride, polyacrylic acids or their esters, fluorated compounds as well as pigments of organic or inorganic nature. Mixtures of these substances or their organic solutions as well, are also usable.
  • a particular embodiment of the present invention pertains to the emulsification of organopolysiloxanes of the general formula wherein R and R are hydrogen or alkyl, -aryl, -cycloalkyl or acyl residue, x+y is a number between 1.5 and 3 and n is a number above 1.
  • reaction products of the present invention or their further condensation products with aldehydes have a considerably greater emulsification action than all soluble condensation products known in prior art, i.e. they can be used to bring 5 to 15 times the amount of water-insoluble substances in excellent stable emulsions and dispersions.
  • the emulsions produced in accordance with the present invention can be used for a variety of purposes. They have the advantage that the condensation products used as the emulsifier are crosslinked when heated to higher temperatures without the addition of a special hardening agent and thus stabilize the emulsified substances against the attack of solving substances, such as water and organic solvents. In addition, when emulsified or dispersed substances are used, it is possible to carry out a reaction with the emulsifying agents themselves.
  • emulsions obviously depends upon the type of the substances being emulsified. They can be used for coatings, colored glues or pressed masses, or for the treatment of fibers, particularly those of textiles of all types.
  • Emulsions of corresponding water-insoluble substances are used depending as to whether finishing agents, dyes, flame resisting or water-repellent finishes are involved.
  • finishing agents oily and fatty substances, cellulose derivatives, or polymer compounds can be used; dyes may consist of corresponding pigment colorings; flame resisting finishes may consist of chloroparaffin, chlorocaoutchouc or antimony oxide; non-rotting finishes may consist of pentachlorophenol ester, while water-repellent finishes may be organopolysiloxane paraflins, waxes, high molecular fatty acids or mixtures of such substances.
  • the water-repellent property is primarily of particular interest for textiles.
  • water-repellent effects are attained with an acidified emulsion containing 20% parafiin and 2% of a water-soluble reaction product of glycidyl ether of 4,4-dioxy-2,2.-diphenylpropane with an epoxide number of 0.43 and ethylene diamine, after diluting 20 times with water and without the addition of the salt of a polyvalent metal, such as aluminium or zirconium, whereby these water-repellent effects are already close to those which can be attained 'with now generally used paraffin emulsions containing aluminium salts. If a small amount of about 5 gr. to 15 gr.
  • a crosslinking synthetic resin pre-condensate such as a methylol compound of etylene urea
  • the water-absorption value according to the Bundesmann sprinkling test is very greatly diminished and excellent water-repellent effects are attained; for example, in the case of a cotton poplin with 7% to 8% Water absorption, the addition of zirconium salts or such of aluminium or titanium greatly improves wash resistance;
  • Emulsions of organopolysiloxanes prepared in accordance with the present invention are particularly suitable for making textiles water-repellent,
  • the use of these emulsions results in a series of advantages.
  • abrasion fastness of dyes on polyester fibers does not become worse, although this is the case with prior art silicon impregnations.
  • the emulsions of the present invention do not require any catalysts for the hardening of the organopolysiloxane and produce even after a single application, for example, on cotton, a substantial improvement in crease resistance.
  • the storage durability of such emulsions which contain hydrogen siloxanes, particularly when aldehyde reaction products are used as emulsifiers is considerably better than that of prior art emulsions.
  • the emulsifying compounds are produced by heating aliphatic or aromatic glycidyl ethers with aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or heterocyclic dior polyamines, preferably in the presence of an organic solvent which is mixable with water, to temperatures of about 40% C. up to the boiling point of the solvent, as long as there is a clear or slightly turbid solution. Then it is neutralized or brought to an acid pH value of about or 6 by acids which volatilize in the heat, such as low aliphatic carbonic acids, or hydrocholric acid. Similar products may be also produced by a volatile acid by heating glycidyl ether with the polyamine salt.
  • aliphatic or aromatic glycidyl ethers can be named those of polyvalent aliphatic alcohols, such as ethylene-, propylene-, and butylene glycol, glycerin, 1- methyl-2,3,4-trioxypropane, or those of polyvalent phenols, such as 1,4-dioxy-benzol, resorcine, 3,8-dinaphtol, 4,4-dioxydiphenyl-methane or 4,4-dioxydiphenylpropane.

  • aldehydes primarily suitable are formaldehyde and glyoxal, although croton aldehyde or acetaldehyde can be also used. Their amounts range between 10% and 100%, particularly 30% to 50% of the weight of the condensation product of compounds containing epoxide groups and polyamines. As a rule, the reaction with the aldehydes is carried out at temperatures ranging between 60 C. and 80 C. during one hour.

This invention relates to emulsions and a process of producing them and refers more particularly to a method of manufacturing concentrated aqueous emulsions.
It is known in prior art to emulsify fats and oils with aqueous solutions of formaldehyde precondensates. However, these emulsions do not have sufiicient stability despite the use of large amount of condensation products. Prior art literature, such as the British Patent 596,154, or the German Patent 956,990, also describe emulsification of paraffin with acid solutions of formaldehyde condensation products or with their water-soluble salts. The required amounts of such acid condensation products are also substantial in comparison with the amounts of paraflin or wax, so that with a 100% product only one to double the amount of paraffin by weight can be brought into emulsion.
Many suggestions were also made in prior art for the manufacture of aqueous emulsions of organopolysiloxanes. However, the usual emulsifying agents have the drawback that they impair through their surface active properties the hydrophobic action of the silicones, particularly in the treatment of textiles. Furthermore, some of these emulsifying agents are weakly alkaline and thus facilitate the decomposition of hydrogen-polysiloxanes. Finally, difficulties arise due to the incompatibility of the emulsions with the metal salts necessary as hardening means for the siloxanes. Then the particles of the emulsions are immediately increased.
An object of the present invention is to improve prior art processes and products.
Other objects will become apparent in the course of the following specification.
The present invention is based, in part, on the discovery that water-soluble or in water-dispersible, neutralized or acidified reaction products of aliphatic or aromatic compounds containing epoxy groups with dior polyamines of aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or heterocyclic series constitute excellent emulsification and dispersing means for waterin-soluble substances of very different types.
It was also found that in many instances particularly advantageous are further action products of low aldehydes, particularly formaldehyde, with said reaction products of compounds containing epoxy groups and polyamines.
The water-insoluble substances which are to be emulsi fied or dispersed, can be of organic or inorganic nature. By way of example, they can be saponifiable fats, oils and waxes, their free acids, paraffin hydrocarbons, chloroparafiins, chlorocaoutchouc, pentachlorophenolesters of higher carbonic acids, polyethylenes, water-insoluble cellulose ethers or esters, polyvinylalcohols, their esters, polyvinylchloride, polyacrylic acids or their esters, fluorated compounds as well as pigments of organic or inorganic nature. Mixtures of these substances or their organic solutions as well, are also usable.
3,320,197 Patented May 16, 1967 A particular embodiment of the present invention pertains to the emulsification of organopolysiloxanes of the general formula wherein R and R are hydrogen or alkyl, -aryl, -cycloalkyl or acyl residue, x+y is a number between 1.5 and 3 and n is a number above 1.
The reaction products of the present invention or their further condensation products with aldehydes have a considerably greater emulsification action than all soluble condensation products known in prior art, i.e. they can be used to bring 5 to 15 times the amount of water-insoluble substances in excellent stable emulsions and dispersions.
The amount of condensation products used for the emulsification is preferably 2 to 10% of the total weight of the emulsion. These percentages pertain to the waterfree condensation product of diand/or polyamines and polyepoxy-compounds.
The emulsions produced in accordance with the present invention can be used for a variety of purposes. They have the advantage that the condensation products used as the emulsifier are crosslinked when heated to higher temperatures without the addition of a special hardening agent and thus stabilize the emulsified substances against the attack of solving substances, such as water and organic solvents. In addition, when emulsified or dispersed substances are used, it is possible to carry out a reaction with the emulsifying agents themselves.
The use of the emulsions obviously depends upon the type of the substances being emulsified. They can be used for coatings, colored glues or pressed masses, or for the treatment of fibers, particularly those of textiles of all types.
Emulsions of corresponding water-insoluble substances, a series of which has already been mentioned, are used depending as to whether finishing agents, dyes, flame resisting or water-repellent finishes are involved. As finishing agents oily and fatty substances, cellulose derivatives, or polymer compounds can be used; dyes may consist of corresponding pigment colorings; flame resisting finishes may consist of chloroparaffin, chlorocaoutchouc or antimony oxide; non-rotting finishes may consist of pentachlorophenol ester, while water-repellent finishes may be organopolysiloxane paraflins, waxes, high molecular fatty acids or mixtures of such substances.
The water-repellent property is primarily of particular interest for textiles. By way of example, water-repellent effects are attained with an acidified emulsion containing 20% parafiin and 2% of a water-soluble reaction product of glycidyl ether of 4,4-dioxy-2,2.-diphenylpropane with an epoxide number of 0.43 and ethylene diamine, after diluting 20 times with water and without the addition of the salt of a polyvalent metal, such as aluminium or zirconium, whereby these water-repellent effects are already close to those which can be attained 'with now generally used paraffin emulsions containing aluminium salts. If a small amount of about 5 gr. to 15 gr. per liter of a crosslinking synthetic resin pre-condensate, such as a methylol compound of etylene urea, is added to the bath, the water-absorption value according to the Bundesmann sprinkling test, is very greatly diminished and excellent water-repellent effects are attained; for example, in the case of a cotton poplin with 7% to 8% Water absorption, the addition of zirconium salts or such of aluminium or titanium greatly improves wash resistance;
3 the fabric after 3 soap washings still has a water absorption of 9% to 10%.
Emulsions of organopolysiloxanes prepared in accordance with the present invention are particularly suitable for making textiles water-repellent, The use of these emulsions results in a series of advantages. For example, abrasion fastness of dyes on polyester fibers does not become worse, although this is the case with prior art silicon impregnations. Furthermore, the emulsions of the present invention do not require any catalysts for the hardening of the organopolysiloxane and produce even after a single application, for example, on cotton, a substantial improvement in crease resistance. The storage durability of such emulsions which contain hydrogen siloxanes, particularly when aldehyde reaction products are used as emulsifiers, is considerably better than that of prior art emulsions.
The emulsifying compounds are produced by heating aliphatic or aromatic glycidyl ethers with aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or heterocyclic dior polyamines, preferably in the presence of an organic solvent which is mixable with water, to temperatures of about 40% C. up to the boiling point of the solvent, as long as there is a clear or slightly turbid solution. Then it is neutralized or brought to an acid pH value of about or 6 by acids which volatilize in the heat, such as low aliphatic carbonic acids, or hydrocholric acid. Similar products may be also produced by a volatile acid by heating glycidyl ether with the polyamine salt.
It is also possible to further react these products in an acid state by heating after the addition of aldehydes, particularly formaldehyde or glyoxal; however, no hardening with precipitation of insoluble large particles should be allowed to take place.
However, turbed solutions are still usable for emulsification before or after treatment with the aldehyde, so long as they constitute fine-particled dispersions which are still stable in the concentrated as well as diluted state.
As examples of aliphatic or aromatic glycidyl ethers can be named those of polyvalent aliphatic alcohols, such as ethylene-, propylene-, and butylene glycol, glycerin, 1- methyl-2,3,4-trioxypropane, or those of polyvalent phenols, such as 1,4-dioxy-benzol, resorcine, 3,8-dinaphtol, 4,4-dioxydiphenyl-methane or 4,4-dioxydiphenylpropane.
Examples of dior polyamines are alkylene diamines, such as ethylene-, propylene-, butyleneor N-ethylproylendiamine, polyalkylenepolyamines, such as diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, dipropylenetriamine, or w,w'- diethylene-triamine, cycloaliphatic diamines, such as 1,4- diaminocyclohexane, heterocyclic compounds with at least 2 secondary amino groups, such as piperazine, and finally ethyleneimine. The relative amounts of glycidyl ethers and polyamines can be'varied within great limits. There can be 3 epoxide groups of glycidyl ether for each hydrogen atom of the polyamine which is capable of reaction, or, reversely, the amount of hydrogen atoms of the polyamine can be equal to or greater than the number of epoxide groups. One can go as high as aminehydrogen atoms for each epoxide group, while particularly suitable are reaction products with 1.5-4 amino-hydrogen atoms per epoxide group.
Among aldehydes primarily suitable are formaldehyde and glyoxal, although croton aldehyde or acetaldehyde can be also used. Their amounts range between 10% and 100%, particularly 30% to 50% of the weight of the condensation product of compounds containing epoxide groups and polyamines. As a rule, the reaction with the aldehydes is carried out at temperatures ranging between 60 C. and 80 C. during one hour.
The following examples are given by way of exemplification only:
Example 1 160 gr. of an aqueous solution, the production of which is described hereinbelow, are heated to 70 C. and are thoroughly mixed with a mixture of 260 gr. paraflin (Pp 52-54") and 70 gr. perchloroethylene heated to the same temperature, whereupon the final mixture is treated in a high pressure homogenizing machine. Then a solution of 6 gr. acetic acid (of 60%) in 160 ml. water, which has been heated to 70 C., is added to the mixture and the emulsion is stirred when cold. It can be diluted with water to any desired extent; by way of example, after a short subsequent heating to about 150 C. it imparts to textiles noteworthy water-repellent properties.
The solution used for emulsification can be produced by heating for about 40 minutes 100 gr. of a glycidyl ether of 4,4-dioxydiphenylpropane (epoxide number 0.43)

Then the mixture is homogenized and a solution of 3 ml. formic acid is stirred into 260 ml. water. The resulting emulsion is fine-particled, stable and can be easily dissolved with water. It also can be used for making textiles water-repellent, whereby these effects and their permanency after cleanings can be greatly improved by the addition of small amount of methylolamidoazolidone and zirconium acetate.
The emulsifying solution Was produced by a further treatment of 200 gr. of the reaction product of glycidyl ether and ethylene diamine described in Example 1 with 50 gr. of a 37% aqueous formaldehyde solution for 1 hour at 60 C. to 70 C.
